CHRISTMAS "SPECIAL" This weekfthe merchants of town are going all out to male yonr Christmas shopping as pleasant as possible. n ih hey've arranged a Santa Claus parade and a free show for the entertainment of the kiddies, and have laid out their most attractive merehandise for your selection. With the children otherwise oecupied, Saturday promises to be the perfect time for parents to choose their Christmas gifts. The advertisements appearing in this week's isue tlf the Advance-Times make an ideal directory as to what goods are available and where. A careful perusal of the offerings contained therein will pay off in time saved in actual shopping, and should help lighten the burden of Christmas buying. While the weather may not be seasonable enough to -put you in the mood for Christmas shopping, it's still a good idea to do it early. Shopping done now will help you avoid that fagged-out feeling that comes to so many of us a coupleof days before Christmas.

The latest antics of the McCarthyites in the United States raise again the question of how the democracies can best combat communism hi their midst. Senator McCarthy and his ilk seem to believe that th best method is to smear anybody with even he slightes leaning towards liberalism, on the general prImise that if enough mud is thrown, some of it is bound to stick. And the Republican action in bringing ex-President Harry' Truman into the act, would seem to show that the investi- gations are not without political intent. If Russian spies are as numerous and as highly-placed as the Senator would have us believe, something should certainly be done about it. In both the United States and Canada there are bodies specially qualified for handling that type of job, namely the F.B.I. and the R.C.M.P. We have no doubt .that 'these organizations are capable of handling the situation as well as, if not better than a Senate investigating committee. We doubt if the Senator's methods of combating com- munism will have much success in the long run. We still think that a thriving, vigorous democratic system is the best—and only answer to the threat of communism. And that is one whose freedoms include the freedom from. witch-hunts. BY ACCLAMATION What seems to be a growing tendency among West- ern Ontario municipalities. the practice of electing council representatives by acclamation, is a fair indication of the way municipal politics have deteriorated in the last few years, More and more councillors seem to be elected with- out any kind of a political battle, and without the elector- ate having a chance to state their preference. The obvious trouble with municipal politics is the -fact that nobody wants to assume responsibility, especial- ly when there is nothing to be gained from doing so. Few of us are public-spirited enough to undertake at our own ..-e-pense a job which is thankless, to say the least, If the present trend towards more and more acclama- tions continues, perhaps some sort of pay, reward or in- I* ducement will have to be offered to lure talent into the O. field of municipal politics, Meanwhile Wingham peo.pie will have a chance to 1 exercise their democratic rights at the nomination meeting !- next week. We hope there be no complaints from those who fait to attend. * is We often wonder what there is about the newspaper bnsiness Whith makes so many people think they know so much about it. We ourselves, who tare comparative ama-ki tents at the game, would be happy to garner some of wisdom, There are more seii-conessed experts in the field of a jonrh.--nlisen than in any bnsiness we know, and they're all ready, at the drop of a hat. to tell you all about your errors and omissions. We freely admit to imperfection. And if people .1.1 kacw more about the business than we do, more power to them. Were a.-4 -ways ready to stand corrected. and in fact e do so quite often.
